If you live in Georgia (or southeast), please post here. I'm thinking we are few and far between, but I'm hoping this topic serves as a connection point for immortalists in this general vicinity.

I'm currently a freshman at UGA, and I'm in contact with one (the only?) other person at UGA with immortalist/transhumanist interests.

Here in atlanta too, Graphic Design Student. I figure get one degree, earn some money go back to school later for Engineering Degree in Biomolecular Engineering. I would go now but cannot afford engineering school and art school is FREE (mom works there).  I have a question from a social standpoint thoughj, if we discover that there are some of us here...what the hell are we supposed to do then, go to starbucks and talk nerdy to each other???

Does it count if I'm a UGA drop-out living in Germany?

[Shepard]

I got to Auburn, that's close to UGA. War Eagle!!!.....atleast last year, anyway.

[th3hegem0n]

Ok, now let's think of something crazy to do.

Starbucks and nerdy talk is a great suggestion, but maybe we can think of something more amusing/useful to do.

I'll try and come up with a couple ideas.

Hey guys,

I just noticed this forum, so I thought I would reply. I am from Arkansas, but live and work in Atlanta now as well. I noticed there haven't been many replies in this thread lately, but thought I would add a post!

As hankconn pointed out in this post, there is going to be a conference on aging in Atlanta, presented by The University of Georgia, in conjunction with the Georgia Division of Aging Services and delegates of the White House Conference on Aging.

The event will be Monday, May 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta, and cost to attend will be $20. You can sign up at the conference link above.

Do you plan on attending Jayd?

[jaydfox]

Not sure. I'd have to take a day off of work, and I'm paid by the hour, so it's not like I can take sick time or vacation... The cost of the day off is more than an order of magnitude in excess of the $20 fee to attend...

Anyone interested in a WTA regional group (link) for our area? We don't have one yet, it seems.

[stephen]

Just moved to Atlanta!  In between Buckhead and Vinings.

Lovely city... a bit hot.

Any recommendations for things to do / places to see from the current residents?  Wish I had seen this earlier!  Would've loved to go the aging conference...

Anything else like that coming up on the agenda?

[rjws]

Not in Atlanta but In Laurel , Mississippi .  got pounded by Katrina lol

Hey stephen, welcome to the area. I am about smack dab in the middle of Buckhead.

Hmm, things to do in Atlanta..

I hear that "Bodies, The Exhibition" is terrific, I am going to go see it at some point (is going until September 4).

The new $200 million Georgia Aquarium downtown is astounding. I went a few weeks ago and liked it alot. (although I am in to that kind of stuff)

The CNN Center is pretty good. (the tour is pretty interesting I thought).

The World of Coke is ok, although a lot of the stuff is getting kind of dated in there, but the sampling area (where you get to taste drinks from all over the world) is pretty nice. I think they are building a new World of Coke down by the aquarium, but I have no idea when it will be done.

If you like sports, plenty of those going on, I have been to a few Braves games already this year, and probably will go to a few more. Lots of other sports going on too, football, basketball, and hockey. (the ESPNZone is a pretty nice restaurant/sports bar if you have never been. I go a lot since it is like 3 blocks from me)

Our zoo is one of the better ones I have ever been to. (although not the best, but I go to a lot of them)

Piedmont Park is really nice (and big), especially on a Saturday or Sunday during the day. (sometimes I go running down there, or play frisbee)
